(KMZA)--A week before the start of school, the Prairie Hills USD 113 Board of Education has approved a new mask-wearing plan for students and staff..
Superintendent Todd Evans told MSC News that the Board, during a special meeting Monday evening, adopted the “ USD 113 Practical Mask Plan.”
He said the plan identifies by grade bands acceptable times for wearing masks and when they wouldn't be required.
As a general rule, Evans said masks don't need to be worn if students or adults are able to maintain six foot of physical distancing. Masks are required for students on all district transportation or at the request of a responsible adult.
The board last week had voted to make the wearing of face masks optional for each student, teacher, staff member and visitor.
Concern from parents led the board to revisit its decision.
